that bike has a 1 inch threaded headset and needs a fork with a steerer tube to match

http://www.monarkforks.com/monark/ you want the type 1. you can also get disc brake adapters for it if you ever want to stop the thing properly.

those things look good but they break easily. forks are one of those things you shouldn't skimp on, especially on a motorized bicycle.

yea i know and understand but this bike is just a cruiser the bike it self is a cheapy those forks cost more than my bike bro i just wanted to see if i can get a more vintage style look not hd quality they look nice tho

and im not trying to be rude or anything i just cant afford stuff like that for now.. like i said just a cruiser and always thank you for the input

if you can't afford good forks, you should stick with the ones you've got.

What breaks, exactly?

they tend to cave in on themselves. the original schwinn ones are fine, the reproduction ones are a deathtrap. they're just not built to handle the extra weight and speed a motorized bicycle is subjected to

No, not true in all cases, it just depends if you buy a cheap Chinese one, compared to a forged steel, or aluminum one, I would not judge all of them, as you said my 69 Panther II one is fine
